The Sarthak project was implemented with a dual approach of addressing prevention and response for children who have experienced sexual violence, recognizing that both are essential for impact and change. The three-year project in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) is working with schools and communities to increase awareness of Gender Based violence and sexual violence, as well as understanding of referral and response services, and with key stakeholders to build a child-friendly approach to prevention and response. It also works closely with child survivors to offer them a holistic range of support services, including health, psychosocial support, legal and social care.
